SL 600 640bhp/1000Nm
I would consider Audi R8. I'm in love in this car from the pictures I have seen so far.

Lovin,
Here's my opinion:
If you are looking for style & looks, the R230 SL clearly is the winner. The GT just doesn't even come close in comparison. IMO, the GT is the *fugliest* car that Bentley has ever produced. It looks like a fishing boat turned upside down with four wheels! The four door Bentley, now that's a different story. Very nice styling. If you want a Bentley, go for the four door. If you want a roadster, go for the best all around roadster out there, an R230. I know you had a lemon before, but I really think you should reconsider. They have made improvements in the past couple of years.

I just got this puppy today!
NM Limited-Edition 2007 BMW Individual M6 Convertible
Bold and uncompromising, the BMW Individual M6 stands alone. The unmistakable roar of its 5.0-liter, V-10 engine delivering 500 horsepower at your command. The precision handling, M variable differential lock, and electronic damping control that make every trip extraordinary.
It's on-board computer, GPS navigation, and voice command systems that merge driver and auto into one intelligent entity. It is beloved as a coupe, now, we are proud to blow the roof off this pinnacle of automotive excellence. Presenting the NM® Limited-Edition 2007 BMW Individual M6 Convertible. Making its debut as a convertible, this M6 has everything you crave from a BMW. Its special paint treatment and premium interior appointments were created to satisfy the most discerning drivers.
At the heart of this incredible machine is a Formula 1™-inspired, V-10 engine with ten individual throttle butterflies capable of revving up to 8,250 rpm. Coupled to a seven-speed Sequential Manual Transmission with Drivelogic®, it can launch you from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 exhilarating seconds. There's the speed-sensitive variable-assist power steering and the independent M-suspension design providing the renowned M handling performance; the four-wheel BMW M antilock braking system; M-radial spoke cast alloy wheels; the on-board integrated diagnostic system; we could keep going but want to save some of the joy of discovery for the lucky few who achieve ownership.
You see, only 50 of our NM® Limited-Edition 2007 BMW Individual M6 Convertibles will exist in the United States. Yours will feature a shimmering, exclusive shade of Ruby Black exterior paint, accented with Piano Black trim elements. Inside the cabin, you can settle into the 16-way power sports seats wrapped in our custom Gold Brown shade of supple BMW Individual merino leather. Be sure to crank up the 11-speaker Surround Sound stereo and six-disc CD changer. This machine is far too miraculous to simply be picked up at a dealer.
Your ultimate driving experience includes meeting the BMW of your dreams in Munich while enjoying an exclusive European adventure including two business class tickets on Lufthansa® from New York, gourmet meals, and luxurious accommodations for four nights. You will be privy to "behind the scenes" access to BMW culture and have the opportunity to meet with the engineers and designers who were involved in the creation of our 2007 BMW Individual M6 Convertible. This once-in-a-lifetime trip is scheduled for Spring 2007. Your unique opportunity to learn more and order this magnificent machine and experience begins at noon EDT on Wednesday, October 18 when you call 1-866-303-2696.
You'll want to program your speed dial now, so you'll be ready. Performance numbers based on preliminary test results from BMW AG. Manufacturer's suggested retail price. Price excludes all taxes, title, licensing and registration fees, and transportation costs.
